Can not convert float to int

First off, use code tags:

Using code tags properly

If you see someone who needs to know about code tags, please link them to this post: Please use code tags when posting code. You can “tag” your code by typing [984347--130826--Screenshot 2015-03-16 10.33.58.png] around your code. There is no overt “Code” tag button that automatically tags a selection as code. That being said, however, we can Insert code directly into the post using the “Insert Code” button: [image] This will bring up an “Insert” window were we can paste our code and choose…

Next, yes you can convert float to int.

But, as the exception says, it’s an explicit conversion (because you lose data when you do so… int’s don’t have fractional values).

Explicit conversion would be like so:

float num = 3.0f;
int i = (int)num;

In your case:

playerHealth.currentHealth += (int)HealthUp;

Although… why not just type ‘HealthUp’ as an int? Because as is, if it’s a float, you can accidentally set it to a fractional value and lose data in the conversion.
